Software

There are currently several distributions running on the Zoom2. Also, a few interesting software projects are underway.

Generic Linux on Zoom2

Android on Zoom2

See our "Getting Started guide" for more information on how to get Google Android up and running quickly on the OMAP Zoom2.

Angstrom on Zoom2

Since there are many users in the Beagle community who are familiar with the Angstrom distribution, we looked into getting Angstrom running on Zoom2 as well.

Below are the steps taken:

1. Sources for the Kernel, Bootloader and Xloader can be obtained by following instructions for Accessing the Source Code.
Also please note that the Linux OMAP kernel version 2.6.30 will have support for Zoom2 in the near future.

2. Kernel, Bootloader and X-loader can be built by following instructions for Building the System.

4. Now the Zoom2 should be ready to boot Angstrom with an SDcard or some other booting mechanism. There are some information available on booting the Zoom2 in the Installing the System section. Although this information is specific to booting Google Android, same principles could be applied to booting Angstrom.
